Replying to: dirkwork (Feb 09, 2005 9:24 pm) I have a Colorado Regular Cab 4x4 LS (not easy to find in SoCal) and have noticed a highly irritating little quirk...the passenger seat likes to "dance" while off-roading or driving on these horribly pot-hole ridden San Diego streets. I've taken it in 3 times now, and it still wobbles...acts like it has to take a wizz or something! Anyone else have the wiggle-seat issue with their Colorado? I never had this prob in my 95 S-10 4x4. Other than that, I really like the little guy. 20+MPG out of a 4x4 is amazing indeed...interior space in the regular cab blows the competition away... I off-road in the Desert, and the only off-road issue I had was that the rear tires rubbed against the "plastic" lining along the inside-edge of the wheel-well...making a terrible noise when one side was all the way up and the other was all the way down (the type of crap my Jeep could take easily). No real damage or anything. I had a Sierra 4x2 and a Jeep Wrangler...got the Colorado cause my wife needed an automatic (knee problems). The locking rear dif is a huge improvement over my Sierra...and although my Jeep got really crappy mileage, it off-roaded like a beast (to be expected). I off-road for work in the summers and am worried my passenger seat is going to leap out the window if I dont get it fixed somehow... Planning on getting a set of BF Goodrich TA's...the ones on my S-10 rubbed the frame....anyone out there with a z-71 4x4 tried 31's on their Colorado/Canyon? |

Replying to: islandcorner (Dec 04, 2004 8:42 pm) I love my truck because it did so well when we had a very bar rain storm and there were boulders in the highway rolling down from the cliff. I placed it in 4 wheel and easily manuvered around and through those bolders and foot of water. I'll regularly post to see if any of the complaints made by the others ever develop on my truck. |

does anybody know if Gm is Offering any loyalty rebate on colorado/canyon, If im correct about 1month ago, they were, and it didn't matter if you traded Your current Gm in or not, in my case we have a 1995 Lesabre Buick, Im wondering if its to old or not the right model, or how it works? if anybody knows anything about GM loyalty rebates, but in our case we would trade it and on top of that hopefully get a Loyalty rebate...I know the Canyon has a 2,000 reabte currently, Im wondering if that includes a discount and loyalty rebate, for financing with GMAC? Confused, any help, Thanks Sean

Just wanted to as my comments about the recent issues with water leaks in the Colorado. I have a 4X4 Ext Cab Z71. Right from the beginning I had the water leak that ran down the inside drivers side kick plate. Took it in and the dealer recognized this as a "known" problem and they were happy to fix it for me. They did have to order a new part though which took a little while. It turns out it was 2 seals that were not put together right. The top left seal on the windshield and the area below the windshield wipers. Other then this I have not had any problems at all. No vibrations, no A/C issues, no problems at all. Love the truck! I have 10,000 miles and have taken it off-road and on long road trips. Very satisfied! |

| Add this problem to the list- Blower Motor When it's below freezing my blower motor for the heater sounds like your dragging a plastic trash can down the driveway. Once the truck warms up, the noise goes away. | |
| Hey fellows! Just got my '05 Colorado LS Crew Cab and was looking at getting a bed liner and a tonneau cover soon. Any suggestions on manufacturers/websites? | |

I just bought an 05 base 4-cylinder 5-speed Colorado extended cab. Only options were the appearance package that adds body color bumpers, fog lights, alloy wheels, and leather wrapped steering wheel for $350 (quite a good deal I think) and a $199 Chevy bedliner. There was a total of $3k in rebates. Sticker was $18470. I got it out the door for $16000. Not the best deal possible but quite good considering its still relatively early in the model year and its not the end of the month. It's also about $4k less then a Toyota Tacoma. I'll admit the Tacoma has a nicer interior and feels a bit tighter, but not $4k worth. The deal breaker for me was the fact that Toyota's bench seats are one piece, which meant that a short person like me couldn't have anyone riding in the front passenger seat unless they wanted their knees jammed into the dash. What a stupid design decision on Toyota's part. Overall, I'm impressed with my particular Colorado's build quality so far. I got it with only 4 miles on the odo, so I'm the only test driver, whoohoo! It's quiet, rattle free, and built a lot tighter then what GM used to be known for. I think the truck's styling is very sporty looking in black. AC seems to work good, the brakes are strong, the ride is comfortable and it handles well enough, the shifter is great, and the 4 banger is very peppy. I did notice some vibration that is definitely tire related but I'm hoping it was from sitting too long since it did get better after I drove it around. This is my FIRST American car, so I hope GM got it right with my truck, since first impressions are everything. It seems the build quality of these trucks can be a little hit and miss though. I almost bought a regular cab just like mine but the clutch was real grabby and took a lot of concentration to drive it smoothly, plus it had more wind noise. I thought all Colorado clutches were like this until I drove the one I ended up with (which is much smoother). I also drove an automatic whose exhaust sounded loud when accelerating and like a diesel at idle and the truck had a funny whining sound too. Thankfully, mine seems perfect as of now. I just hope she holds up well. |

| Is the trailer weight listed in the manual the max weight that can be towed period or just the max weight allowed via the bumper hitch? I would eventually like to purchase a travel trailer that weighs around 3000 pounds, but according to the manual my truck can only handle 1500. This seems very low considering my unibody Lancer wagon can tow about the same. Any insight? | |
